Halo 5's "new" features

I don't know if this has been shared already, but here is a that showcases some of the new features coming to the Halo franchise in Halo 5. While much of it is interesting, especially from a balance standpoint, most of it is stuff we've seen before in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare,
Titanfall, and even much further back with games like Mirror's Edge and the most basic of shooters. This only seems to add to my argument that freedom of movement seems to be the new direction FPS games appear to be taking nowadays.

What's your take on this? Do you think this is a good thing, bad thing, just the next "fad" a la WWII shooters, or a natural evolution to gaming in general?

do scores from magazine reviews matter?

Halo reach was a awful Halo. Halo 4 is pretty good game though it has some features from what Call of Duty uses. But Call of Duty never created those features.

[/quote]And yet Halo 4's story is copy/pasted from halo 1 and 3 pretty much where as Reach and ODST had original stories.

 

Games i have heard coming out for 360 or 720

[quote user="Endgamez"]Halo 4 isn't even out yet. No one's talking about Halo 5.[/quote]Actually, when Halo 4 was announced, 343 said "it was part of a new trilogy", so both Halo 5 and Halo 6 are in the works.

 

A very good thing.

It's about time that a sci-fi FPS franchise like Halo starts to have other movements that just a "frog" jump.

Changes and "evolution" is the only way not to be bored by the same gameplay created more than a decade ago.

343 changed the way to tell a Halo story with Halo 4,now they are working on other aspects.....

Just a scope on a weapon,it's already an "improvement".....And from what they showed everything seems legitimate....for a Spartan.

 

Been dying for ADS in Halo for a long time. Halo is great, but it can't stay the same forever. It has to evolve. Halo 4 was on the right track. The tweaks to sprint and adding ADS will really help out.

Just please redesign the sword. It looks so bad.

 

Once I saw it I was slightly disappointed with the addition of ADS, but I realized that it actually seems nothing like Call of Duty's ADS system, more like a special HUD feature. I bet you click the right analog stick to use the sighting system, too, just
like the scopes. The game also looks very competitive and fast-paced, which is good. It could be the spiritual successor to Halo 2 multiplayer.

I also think the sword looks awful. It looks like a big, narrow onion for some reason.

 

They said that you don't actually need to use ADS. Hip fire and ADS are both equally accurate so it's nothing like COD ADS where you need to use it.

As far as movement goes, yeah it seems a bit like COD with the exception that the amount of times you can use it is limited. I also think it's going to be far more useful in HALO than it is in COD.

 

Hello everyone

The only way that I will pick-up another Halo game in the future is if they give us (the players) the ability to make our own Spartan instead of being stuck with a pre-set character.

I love the Master Chief, he is awesome indeed

Halo Reach and Halo 4 Spartan Ops have proven that it is possible to have a Halo story WITHOUT having a pre-set character.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

 

I don't see this as the traditional ADS. The way they explain it: That every weapon has a smart scope similar to the magnum or the battle rifle. The did say that the traditional Halo mode of fire (hipfire?), will be just as accurate as it has been in
past games.

 

While I've always enjoyed the campaign of Halo, the multi-player never held my interest. Maybe if they added custom load-outs and a hardcore mode I'd rethink my position.

Peace, J.R.

 

D, they had custom loadouts in Halo 4 and a "no shields" mode/option since Halo 2.

 

In general playlists, or only in custom games? I believe Halo 3 was the first time I tried multi-player at my friends recommendation; it seemed like it took FOREVER to actually kill someone in that game. The next Halo I tried was Reach; seemed a little better,
but still too many bullets, for my taste, to put someone down.

Peace, J.R.

 

There were playlists called SWAT that used no shields and had 1-shot kills to the dome.

 

Any sort of ADS should stay out of Halo. I think all the other improvements are fantastic though but ADS is kind if like the scourge of modern day shooters. Its fine in COD but it's become rote when it s in every FPS.

Honestly, modern day FPS bug me sometimes because I really like FPS games but I watch a lot of games copy Halo and COD and it makes me sad. I got nothing against those games themselves but there's a reason while I consider Bulletstorm one of THE BEST FPS
of last gen. Wolfenstein and Shadow Warrior look great though.

 

Having spent some time on the previous Halo titles via MCC, I can say with confidence I think the series needs to evolve. Yes, it's good fun, and always will be, but so far the one that feels like it runs the best competitively is Halo 4. Yes I still love
the classics, but it's showing its age now, and it's beginning to feel a bit slower. Will I play them all? Absolutely. But so far for me Halo 4 is the one I'm most keen to play competitively, and I really can't wait to try the Halo 5 beta.
